Thanksgiving (November 25)

The day after water festival, we had our Thanksgiving meal with some of our friends here in Phnom Penh. We spent days preparing the foods, selecting all of our favorite holiday dishes, save for the Tom Turkey whose price was nearly $60 in the store and a pumpkin pie which we were unable to make because there was evidently not a single can of pumpkin remaining in the entire city of Phnom Penh. It was a great night of feasting and fellowshipping together, well worth all of the effort. In this picture, you are seeing three of our friends, Rolitess, who serves as an English teacher in the School of Hope in Kratie, and Mamel and Jairah the wife and daughter of our mission director, going through the buffet line.
